Trump valt paus Leo ("Paus geworden dankzij mij") aan omdat hij te links is en 'weak on crime'

Paus Leo XIV is een van 's werelds krachtigste critici van de Amerikaanse oorlog tegen Iran. De afgelopen dagen heeft hij de verering van stervelingen en geld, de valkuilen van arrogantie en het "absurde en onmenselijke geweld" veroordeeld dat is ontketend door gevechten die het Midden-Oosten verder hebben gedestabiliseerd.

En nu is Trump boos. Tenslotte is Leo paus geworden dankzij Donlad J. Trump

"Leo zou dankbaar moeten zijn, want, zoals iedereen weet, was hij een schokkende verrassing," schreef Trump zondagavond in een uitgebreide post op sociale media. "Hij stond op geen enkele lijst om paus te worden, en werd daar alleen door de kerk geplaatst omdat hij een Amerikaan was, en zij dachten dat dat de beste manier zou zijn om met president Donald J. Trump om te gaan. Als ik niet in het Witte Huis had gezeten, zou Leo niet in het Vaticaan zitten."

Toen hij het bericht verstuurde, kwam de president net terug van een weekend waarin hij een MMA-wedstrijd in Miami had bijgewoond en tijd had doorgebracht met aanhangers op zijn golfclub, nadat de onderhandelingen met Iran waren mislukt. Hij bekritiseerde Leo omdat hij „te soft zou zijn tegen criminaliteit“ – een belediging die hij doorgaans reserveert voor Democratische burgemeesters – en „verschrikkelijk zou zijn in het buitenlands beleid“. Hij zei dat hij een veel grotere voorkeur had voor de broer van de paus, Louis, vanwege diens steun voor de MAGA-beweging – “Hij snapt het!” schreef Trump. De president beschuldigde de paus er ook van “toe te geven aan radicaal links” en gaf vervolgens een advies: “concentreer je op het zijn van een Grote Paus, niet een Politicus.”

The incredible life of the ‘bird man’ refugee who brought tweets, chirps and trills to British radio

Ludwig Koch was once as influential as David Attenborough is today – a new film by his granddaughter sheds light on a tragic event in the naturalist’s life in Berlin before he fled the Nazis

In his lifetime, pioneering German sound recordist Ludwig Koch’s heavily accented voice was as familiar to British audiences as David Attenborough’s is today. His tireless passion for capturing birdsong and bringing it first into German and, after his exile from Nazi Germany, British homes via sound books and BBC radio, made him a household name from the late 1930s onwards.

He was celebrated beyond his life, parodied by Peter Sellers (playing Koch observing life at a Glasgow traffic junction) and immortalised in Penelope Fitzgerald’s 1980 novel Human Voices, about the wartime BBC, which depicts Koch’s assiduous approach to capturing natural sounds and indirectly highlights how the organisation benefited from new voices like his.

‘I just want to feel like me again’: the women still waiting for breast reconstruction years after lockdown

At the height of Covid, hundreds of cancer patients had mastectomies without the reconstruction that would normally accompany them. They would eventually get the surgery, they were told – but for many that promise feels more meaningless by the day

Every time she lifts her arms to get dressed or hang out her washing, Julie Ford gets a painful reminder of one of the most terrifying experiences of her life. At 7am one day in April 2021, she had gone into hospital, alone and wearing a mask, to have her right breast and lymph nodes removed in a bid to stop breast cancer from spreading. Later that day, still groggy from the anaesthetic, in pain and with surgical drains hanging from both sides of her chest, she had staggered to the door with the help of two nurses. She was eased into a friend’s car and driven home to fend for herself.

While Julie’s breast had been removed, it was not reconstructed. Usually, both procedures are carried out in the same operation. But as reconstruction using tissue from the patient’s abdomen is a complex, eight-hour procedure requiring a large surgical team, it was considered “non-essential” and paused by most NHS trusts during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Mysterious Lake District barn joins national treasures on heritage list

Officials grant Grade II* protection to ‘rare building that raises more questions than it answers’

It is an elite list with some of the most significant and beautiful buildings and structures in England, including Battersea power station, Middlesbrough’s Transporter Bridge and the London Coliseum.

Now the Grade II* landmarks are being joined by a mysterious, limestone rubble “barn” on a grassy knoll in the Lake District, which was most recently used as a shelter for sheep and cows.

Donald Trump launches extraordinary attack on Pope Leo calling him ‘weak’ and ‘terrible’

In unprecedented attack on the leader of the Catholic church, president says the US-born pope is ‘not doing a very good job’ and is ‘a very liberal person’

President Donald Trump delivered an extraordinary broadside against Pope Leo XIV on Sunday night, saying he didn’t think the US-born leader of the Catholic church is “doing a very good job” and that “he’s a very liberal person,” while also suggesting the pontiff should “stop catering to the Radical Left.”

Flying back to Washington from Florida, Trump used a lengthy social media post to sharply criticise Leo, then kept it up in comments on the tarmac to reporters.

Middle East crisis live: Iran warns US blockade of strait of Hormuz would violate ceasefire

Centcom says blockade of Iranian ports to begin at 10am ET; Iran’s negotiator says ‘we will not bow to threats’; oil prices rise. Follow the latest news

Michael Lynch, distinguished fellow at the Energy Policy Research Foundation, estimates Donald Trump’s threatened blockade could boost oil prices by $5 to $10 a barrel.

The blockade would take an estimated 2 million barrels of oil per day off the market, and the Iran war has already taken roughly 10 million barrels per day out of supply, Lynch said.

For competitive dog owners, winning here is the achievement of a lifetime. This year’s champion has won it twice
